Anyways Here's Darude Sandstorm
November 2, 2020. NVU-Max Lair
The Justicar watched as his other self lifelessly slumped to the ground, blood pooling underneath him. Then the runes from before appeared all over Des's body, the same that the Justicar himself carried.
"If the holder of the contract cannot provide his own steed, one will be provided for him. One can provide his own transportation, provided he and said mount have a deep, personal connection. Years of beating this dead horse has finally paid off. The pact has been completed. Hehe..." The Justicar laughed heartily as Des's lifeless corpse was lifted into the air and lowered onto the Spectrier. As soon as contact was made, obscura erupted from the pair. Thick, billowing clouds of necrotic energy pulsed out through the cavern, and up through the cave system, then just as quickly were drawn back into their point of origin. Sitting upon a bridle of worn black leather, holding onto reins decorated with human finger bones, astride his black undead horse, was the Dullahan. Desmond hadn't changed all that much. He was still recognizably himself. His skin was pale and semi-translucent, some of his veins on full display, looking like pale blue tree roots. The Justicar's sword was still grotesquely stuck in his chest, though blood had ceased seeping through that particular wound. Most off-putting of all were his eyes. They were undeniably his, but they lacked the 'spark' of life that living beings had. He sat there limply. He had his orders, he was just waiting for the way forward to open up.
The Justicar happily obliged, punching in some coordinates and opening the way into the multiverse. A purplish rift appeared in front of the rider and horse.
"I have it set to 'random'. The current parameters only allow a depth of divergence within 0.1 of our current continuity. Enough to purge most of our surrounding multiverses." The Dullahan gave no indication whether or not it understood what it was being told. "Not sure why I'm telling you this, to be honest. Now get to it. I'm taking this back, by the way." he quipped and pulled his sword out from his creation's chest.
The rider did not protest or react to having the weapon being removed from his body. Without a word, the union of undead creatures slowly walked forward into the infiniteness of the blind eternities.
"Shouldn't take him too long. A few hours max." The villain bathed in his victory. It was the start of a new multiverse, after all. Curiously he looked down at his hand, remembering the runes that appeared on his counterpart's body. He eyed the wooden box and a little anxious thought entered his head. He made a move towards the box when the colours of the room shifted.
Blue lightning bolts started arcing out of the rift. A pinpoint of white light appeared before slowly expanding outward, dominating the entire portal.
"No. That's way too soon." He eyed the rift until a dark silhouette slowly came into view within the sea of bright light. The figure got closer. Heavy metallic steps echoed throughout the cave as a young woman emerged from the rift. She was wearing a high-tech body suit with a robotic frame over it. On her hips was strapped two swords. A modern looking one-almost like a large tactical knife-and a more traditional katana. Her black hair was done up in a simple top knot and a chevron-shaped visor covered her eyes. Beside her was a Pikachu in a luchador costume. Upon seeing the tyrant in front of her she drew her high frequency blade out and pointed the tip towards him.
"Where is he? What did you do with my father?"

He would not be the first in that situation. I doubt he will be the last.
Sinnoh, Safe House
-when PEFE!Every's hand comes to rest on her shoulder, Molybdenum instinctively fixes her posture, her shoulder muscles firm and clinically still-
Molybdenum: They assign me another one.
-all the vigor and novelty of a machine printing a report from a queue-
-...slacking on the reliability, though, she's skipped steps-
Molybdenum: Sometimes a doctor will want to examine the specimen themself, and I deliver it to them. Often they'll ask me to guide them through the organs most relevant to the specimen's specialty, and dispose of the remains after. Otherwise, it's up to my discretion which parts are worth preserving, and which should be liquidated further for recycling.
-she nods-
Molybdenum: I clear away traces of disarray left in the vacated room, and restock the safe house's supplies for a new tenant. The Librarian reassigns the Pokémon lent to us at this time. Usually this is accompanied by dietary adjustments for the nonhuman inhabitants.

Person, or Idea?
Edmond and Maylene's Meditite prepare their first moves, at the commands of their respective trainers.
"Meditite, use Bulk Up!", Maylene says.
"Edmond, use Scary Face!", Mitchell says.
The Meditite calmly tenses her muscles, increasing her strength and durability temporarily. However, as she does so, she catches a glimpse of Edmond's face, which is contorted into an expression fitting for one utterly consumed by a lust for revenge. The sight overwhelms her with a palpable fear, noticeably slowing her movements. <W-what malice,> she stammers. <Why? Do you ha->
<Oh, no, no,> Edmond interrupts, his face instantly shifting to a genuinely cheerful grin. <that's one of my arts. I call it "Visage of Terror". It wasn't too much, was it?>
"Nice work, Edmond," Mitchell commands. "Now, get in close and hit the Meditite with a Low Sweep."
<Yes, Sensei!>, Edmond replies, before dashing right at the Meditite and swinging his right leg horizontally at her legs. <Eat this! Falling Tree Strike!>, he calls.
"Meditite, use Drain Punch!", Maylene commands.
<Yes, my-OWW!>, the Meditite replies, as she is swept off her feet by Edmond's attack. As she falls, however, she swiftly throws a right punch at Edmond, which lands right in the center of his chest. The blow knocks the wind out of Edmond, while the Meditite noticeably perks up faster from Edmond's strike than he expected.
It is now Edmond's turn to be confused. <What was that?>, he asks, with a slight tinge of fear. <Did your fist just steal my energy?>
<Who knows?>, the Meditite replies, a sly grin appearing on her face. <Maybe another hit will show you the truth.>
"Again," both trainers call to their Pokemon.
The two Pokemon strike each other again, with similar results. Edmond is now hanging on the edge of consciousness, while the Meditite, though swaying on injured legs, is visibly in better fighting form.
"Edmond?", Mitchell calls out. "Do you want to switch out? Thumbs up for 'yes', thumbs down for 'no'."
Edmond understands the reason why Mitchell asks, but he still gives a thumbs down.
Maylene nods sagely at the scene before her. Her Meditite does the same, acknowledging her opponent's reckless resolve.
Mitchell sighs. "Okay, then," he says. "Once again, Edmond, use Low Sweep."
"And you use Drain Punch, Meditite!", Maylene responds.
Once again, the two Pokemon trade blows. This time, however, both collapse onto the mat, back first. Edmond tries to stand first, but his muscles give out, and he lands back on the floor, unconscious. The Meditite tries to stand next, managing to get on her hands and knees.
This is enough for the officiating acolyte, who announces the result.
"Machop Edmond is unable to battle!", the acolyte announces. "Challenger Mitchell, please call your next Pokemon!"
"You did great, Ed," Mitchell mumbles, as he returns Edmond to his Pokeball. He then swiftly trades that Pokeball for the one of his next chosen battler. "Vasilissa, stampede!" he announces, as he tosses the Pokeball onto the mat.
Emerging from her Pokeball, Vasilissa the Ponyta trots onto the mat, then glances to and fro. <Whoa, hey there, new people!>, she says to everyone nearby. <How's it going? Wanna chat for a bit? I've got all night!>
The Meditite, now on her feet again, simply replies <Enough talk. Let's fight.> She then coughs once.
Maylene, not being one to underestimate her opponent, immediately orders her Meditite. "Quickly, use Flash!"
"Vasilissa, use Flame Charge!", Mitchell orders. "And try not to get blinded!"
<Here I go, Pops!>, Vasilissa replies, as she runs down the Meditite while engulfed in orange flames. The Meditite was knocked clean off the mat, unable to use Flash in time, and the force of the attack left her unconscious.
"Meditite is unable to battle!", the acolyte announces. "Leader Maylene, please call your next Pokemon!"
Maylene stoically returns her Meditite, then calls out her next Pokemon. "Go, Machop!"
"Wait, what?", Mitchell exclaims. He was expecting a Machoke as an opponent, rather than a Machop. And yet, there on the mat opposing Vasilissa (who was trotting in a circle from the momentum of her Flame Charge) was a Machop, the very spitting image of Edmond.
"You seem surprised," Maylene responds. "This will happen in battle. Adapt if you want to win."
<Aw, dang,>, Maylene's Machop says. <How'm I gonna adapt m'moves to tha' horsey Pokemon?>

Empathic Kid Hero-in-training
Wyndon Stadium, VS Hoops
Evelyn: Hatty, counter with Brutal Swing!
-Hatty surrounds her braids in a dark aura of violence and swings them at Kec.-
Me: Alright, Piku-chan! Let's see what you can REALLY do! USE MEGA PUNCH!
-Piku-chan pulls back his fist before rushing at Kec like lightning to throw a massively powerful punch at the Color Swap Pokémon he calls his rival.-
Oreburgh Stadium, VS Roark
Roark: Now, Aerodactyl! Use Stone Edge!
-Roark's Aerodactyl surrounds himself with two rings of light which transform into sharp rocks which surround the Fossil Pokémon not unlike the rings of Saturn. He then throws the rocks at Ritchie with pinpoint accuracy! The aura around Ritchie glowing brighter with each rock that hits.-
Me: Come on, Ritchie! Hang in there!
-Ritchie keeps bracing himself for each upcoming attack.-
Roark: Alright, Aerodactyl! Give it the works! USE HYPER BEAM!
Me: TAIHENDA!!
-Roark's Aerodactyl draws the ambient energy from the air into its beak, concentrating it into a glowing orange ball of light. The Fossil Pokémon then fires a super-charged blast of pure energy (colored orange) at Ritchie, who takes the hit and is knocked to the ground.-
Me: RITCHIE!
-A brilliant bluish-white light pierces the dust, revealing that Ritchie is still standing and still bracing himself for the impact of each attack, gathering energy from each hit he takes, so he can release it all at once.-
Jubilife Contest, Fae VS Eli
Eli: Vileplume! Audino! Use Solarbeam and Thunderbolt!
Fae: Mismagius, use Psywave! Hypno, use Metronome!
-While still hovering in midair, Eli's Vileplume starts gathering sunlight while Audino surrounds herself in electricity which she fires at Fae's Pokémon in a big bolt of lightning. Fae's Hypno develops a rhythm, focusing on the list of moves that Pokémon can use. When Hypno develops a sufficient enough rhythm, he unleashes a violent blast of draconic energy. Fae's Mismagius unleashes a violet blast of ethereal light that mixes with the Hypno's Dragon Pulse. The two energy blast merge into one and separate into two blasts of draco-psionic energy: One in blue and One in pinkish-red, formed into the shapes of Latios and Latias.-
Marian: UNBELIEVABLE! THROUGH SHEER LUCK, FAE HAS REPLICATED THE FORMS OF THE LEGENDARY EON POKÉMON, LATIOS AND LATIAS!!

Eli: Audino, use Fire Blast! Vileplume... FIRE!
Fae: Hypno, Mismagius... Finish out the battle with Psywave!
-Eli's Audino glows with a crimson light, spitting out a 大-shaped blast of fire, as Vileplume unleashes a beam of pure sunlight. Fae's Hypno and Mismagius glow with an ethereal violet light which they fire as a wave of pure psychic energy, clashing with the Fire Blast and Solarbeam. While this is happening, Fae glances at her crystal ball and nods, as if she knows...-
Fae: It's time...
-And suddenly, as if out of nowhere, a blast of psychic power comes crashing down from the heavens, striking the clash of sunlight, flame and psychic energy, creating a massive explosion in midair.-

Evelyn: Hi, Ian. What did I miss?

Evelyn: Well, yeah. I mean, this is a Pokémon Contest... Be kinda boring if I just had the Ribbon handed to me.
Me: Not what I meant. There's this fortune teller girl from Lavender Town, named Fae... She reminds me a lot of you, and she's moving on to the Semifinals.
Evelyn: Lemme guess... You're gonna say that her performance was...
Evelyn and I: ...simply magical.
Evelyn: Sounds to me that if I wanna meet this "Fae", I'll have to meet her in the semifinals.
-Cue Fae standing right behind Evelyn.-
Fae: That won't be necessary.
-Evelyn suddenly turns around and comes face to veiled face with Fae.-
Evelyn: UWAAAH!
Me: Don't mind my girlfriend... She's not used to being snuck up on...
Evelyn: Nobody's used to getting snuck up on, Ian! You know that!

Fae: Well, it still is a pleasure to meet the both of you. I look forward to seeing your Contest Battles.

Fae: And speaking of Contest Battles, yours is up next.
Evelyn: Oh right! My next opponent is Kendall...
Fae: He will be tough, but I'm sure you have the style enough to gain the upper hand.

Stormchaser, Miraculous Ledyba Watch Party
Season 1 Episode 1: Stormy Weather
-Ian and Evelyn watch the episode, commenting on it as they watch.-
Me: So it takes place in Lumiose City.
Evelyn: Interesting...
-The protagonist, Marinette, chases a little girl she's babysitting around the room, trying to wrestle a hat away from her. A small fairylike being resembling a Ledian floats by her head, before Marinette gestures for her to hide.-
-The votes get tallied for the new weather girl for a TV station, and Mireille wins against Aurore, with the percentage of votes being 82 to 18. Aurore runs off, crying.-
Me: Wow... that was a harsh defeat...
Evelyn: But how will this pertain to that supervillain attack.
-Cue scene change to Papinox's lair.-
Papinox: The vibrations are so strong, I can feel the eminent anger and sadness. The moment of weakness at my next victim... Such easy prey for my akuma.
-Papinox creates a shadowy purple butterfly figure out of psychic energy, and sends it out the window.-
Papinox: Fly away, my little akuma... and EVILIZE HER!
-The psychic purple butterfly flutters out the window and into Kalos in search of its prey. When the akuma finds Aurore, the latter, trapped in an elevator, recoils in fear and attempts to bat it away with her umbrella. The butterfly then infects the umbrella.-
Papinox: -telepathically to Aurore- Stormy Weather... I am Papinox... I give you the power to seek revenge on them as my weather girl. All you have to do is bring me the Miraculous. Can you do that?
Aurore: Yes.
Papinox: That's my weather girl. Show the world who the best weather girl really is!
-Aurore is enveloped in Psychic and Obscuric energy and emerges as a Castform-themed supervillain.-
Evelyn and I: So that's how the supervillain thing happened!
Me: But it was a feather... not a butterfly... I just wanna know what the feather has to do with it...
Evelyn: Hmm... Maybe we'll find something out in future episodes...
-Ian and Evelyn make a note about the process used to create the supervillains.-
Ian and Evelyn's Notes
Miraculous Ledyba: A Magical process used by Papinox to create supervillains with a magic purple butterfly made of pure psychic energy. This might be the same process used to create the supervillain that attacked Hearthome City a while ago. How the feather factors into it is currently unknown.
Back to watching
-Marinette's friend, Alya, suggests they go over to the park so Marinette can join the photo shoot featuring the boy she likes.-
-Mireille then enters the elevator, only to see Stormy Weather.-
Stormy Weather: Hahahaha! I am Stormy Weather. The only weather girl who always gets the forecast right! And unfortunately for you, there's a freak icy front moving in right now!
-Stormy Weather fires an Ice Beam at Mireille, trapping her in the elevator before going on her rampage.-
Random Civilian: Where's Mireille?
Stormy Weather: Ugh... For all of you who voted for Mireille, I'd advise you to move indoors. It's going to get very blustery! Oh wait... too late.
-Stormy Weather unleashes a Hurricane attack, throwing the civilians around.-
-The girl Marinette was babysitting, Manon, tries to drag Marinette to the merry-go-round. Alya and Marinette then switch places in babysitting Manon, with Alya and Manon going on the merry-go-round, which gets freeze-blasted by Stormy Weather. Marinette hides behind a bench, where...-
Marinette: TIKKI, SPOTS ON!
-Tikki, the fairylike Ledian fuses with Marinette's earring, transforming her into the Ledian-themed superheroine, Coxyclaque.-
-Ian and Evelyn go starry-eyed as they watch the transformation!-
Me: So cool!
Evelyn: She's a Magical Girl!
-Adrien, the boy at the photo shoot, hides behind a tree and opens his bag, only to find it empty.-
Adrien: Plagg? Plagg!
Plagg: <I'm not here. I'm sleeping.>
-Adrien then pulls a piece of cheese, causing a fairylike entity, not unlike Tikki, but resembling a deep blue Purrloin, appears.-
Plagg: <For your information, I can smell Camembert in my sleep. It's only one of my many talents.>
Adrien: Great, but there's no time to talk cheese. PLAGG, CLAWS OUT!
-Plagg fuses with Adrien's ring, transforming him into the Purrloin-themed superhero, Chacripan Bleu.-
Me: And he's a Magical Boy!
-Chacripan Bleu antagonizes Stormy Weather, only to receive a face full of Whirlwind, throwing him back. The battle against Stormy Weather intensifies.-
Chacripan Bleu: (Sees a poster of Aurore) Hey! That girl reminds me of someone!
Coxyclaque: It's her! The akuma must be in her parasol!
Evelyn: They know where the Akuma is!
Me: Great! But how will they get out of this one?
Evelyn: Who knows? Maybe they have a magic trick up their sleeve...
Coxyclaque: LUCKY CHARM!
-Coxyclaque imbues her yoyo with magical energy and throws it into the air, releasing the magical energy and creating...-
Coxyclaque: A bath towel? What am I supposed to do with this?
Stormy Weather: Hail!
-Stormy Weather summons up a hailstorm and transforms into her Snowy Form. Using her Lucky Vision, Coxyclaque spies an HVAC tube, the bath towel, and a sign. She signals to Chacripan Bleu her plan.-
Chacripan Bleu: CATACLYSM!
-Chacripan Bleu surrounds his hand in a psychic aura of destruction. Stormy Weather then fires a Thunderbolt attack at him, which he avoids. In touching the sign, Chacripan Bleu destroys the poles holding it in place, causing it to fall. Stormy Weather blasts a hole in it as Coxyclaque takes off running under pipes and against a crane before jumping over an HVAC. Opening the towel, she soars in the air, pulling down Stormy Weather. The speed at which she falls and the angle of the crane cause her to lose her parasol, which Chacripan Bleu catches and throws to Coxyclaque, who breaks it, releasing the Akuma.-
Coxyclaque: No more evildoing for you, little Akuma...
-Coxyclaque swings her yoyo round and round, winding up to throw it at the Akuma.-
Coxyclaque: TIME TO DE-EVILIZE!
-Coxyclaque throws her yoyo at the Akuma and captures it.-
Coxyclaque: Gotcha!
-Coxyclaque dispels the psychic energy that created the Akuma.-
Coxyclaque: MIRACULOUS LEDYBA!
-Coxyclaque throws the bath towel into the air, releasing it as a miraculous light which fixes the damage caused by Stormy Weather, and turns the weather back to normal. Stormy Weather gets surrounded in Psychic and Obscuric energy as she transforms back into Aurore.-
Evelyn and I: So that's how they got out of that one.
Evelyn: So Coxyclaque's power is "Lucky Charm", which she uses to create something which she can use to turn the tables...
Me: ...and Chacripan Bleu's power is "Cataclysm", which he uses to destroy whatever he touches.
Evelyn: And we figured out the supervillain part of the puzzle...
Me: ...but why the feather?
-Ian sends out a text with his Xtransceiver.-

RE: Supervillain Attack
Evelyn and I were just watching Miraculous Ledyba, just to try to piece the puzzle together... We got the supervillain piece and the psychic energy construct pieces in place. However, the construct was a butterfly-esque figure, not a feather. Was there anything else of note at the scene of the supervillain attack?

Kim looked up a bit and glanced around at her friends and Pokemon, while Cuddles proceeded to climb into her lap and nuzzle her. She glanced over at Braker, who nodded sagely.
"Well, then," Kim said, smiling a bit. "I suppose that the only thing I can do now... is see if there is anything I can do."
<That's the spirit!> said Ringo cheerfully.
<We'll be with you when you do,> said Paul.
<An' don't get yourself too worked up over your bat'ling skills, either,> said Elton, putting a paw on her shoulder. <You still need a lo' o' practice if you'll ever be able to defeat someone like Kendall, but I'm sure you'll get there eventually!>
"And like we said before, don't worry about Kendall or 9-Volt too much," said Braker. "They'll reach out to you when they want to. For now, I'd suggest you focus solely on finding out what you want to do with your life instead and going from there."
Kim nodded, smiling.
That was all she needed to hear.

Seconds later, she grabbed her Pokemon in a massive hug, and all of them started laughing with delight. Braker and Walter looked on, slightly amused, and Kim looked over at both of them.

"All right," she said. "I think I'm ready to head back inside the Wyndon Stadium, if it's alright with you."
Cobalt Coastlands
"W-what do you mean, 'get out'?!" spat Laurie, stunned. "We just got here!"
The Hisuian Samurott refused to give Laurie any leverage, instead glaring down at his son with evident rage. The Oshawott, meanwhile, trembled.
<D-dad...?> he asked. <W-what do you mean, 'get out'? W-why do you want me to—>
His father promptly cut him off.
<You are going to evolve into a Dark-type one day, are you not?> he said.
<W-well... yes, but—> said the Oshawott nervously, before his father cut him off again, snatching his son's Super Saiyan poster out of his paws and holding it up in front of him.
<Then what on Earth is the meaning of this?!> snapped the Hisuian Samurott. <For many years now we've prided ourselves on our dirty tactics and villainous methods, and yet here you are, claiming to want to emulate these so-called "heroes" and pulling pranks on other Dark-types!>
Emcee's eye widened.
~Oh... oh dear...~ he muttered.
"What is it, Emcee?" asked Laurie.
~It appears that this Oshawott's parents and father are part of some crime syndicate that performs violent criminal acts,~ said Emcee. ~They want their son to follow suit, but instead he idolizes heroism and pulls pranks on other Dark-type Pokemon for the sake of giving them a taste of their own medicine.~
"...oh dear," said Laurie.
The conversation between father and son continued.
<B-but— I- that's why I do it!> said the Oshawott. <They shouldn't be hurting other people!>
<Oh, and are you implying that we shouldn't hurt other people and Pokemon?!> his mother snarled. <Is that it?!>
"Oh dear god, now his mother's getting involved," said Laurie.
<You are never going to become a hero on my watch,> said the Oshawott's father. <You are going to learn how to hurt the pathetic innocents in the world, and that's—>
He suddenly paused, noticing Laurie, D'Autry, and Emcee standing there, staring at him in shock— and then he noticed Mitchell and Gav.
<Are these your friends?> he snarled.
<...y-yes,> muttered the Oshawott in a small voice.
<They support you and your stupid aspirations?!>
<T-they're not—>
<SHUT IT!>
And on that word, Laurie's father pulled out his seamitar, which glowed a bright blue, and slashed his son backwards with it. Laurie, D'Autry, and Emcee stared in shock at the Oshawott, with D'Autry in particular jumping out of Laurie's arms and running towards him.
<Oshawott!> he cried. <A-are you alright?>
Emcee, horrified, turned to face Laurie.
~He called his aspirations "stupid",~ he said.
"...Well, then," said Laurie, glowering with rage and pulling out a PokeBall. "Seems he's going down, then."

A Much Older House
A hallway stretches in front of and behind. It's old, but well taken care of; given half-light by the oil lamps lining its walls at regular intervals.
Rooms lead off it intermittently, containing chests and drawers of memories- varying in importance. Things worth knowing and things that are not. There isn't a real rhyme or reason to how they're arranged, and it might take an eternity to find anything valuable.
But organization is "Molly"'s forte, isn't it?

Three fingers held up to form a Protect against the Precipice Blades for him and Kamui, only for the attack to prepare.

Kamui, recalling that Groudon wasn't also a fire-type, turned to her Drought, and let a Solar Beam fly.

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]
Wyndon Stadium, past
Kec's attack slams into Hatty's braids. There is the temptation to press the attack and possibly get a clean hit, but Piku-chan is approaching from behind.
"Sucker Punch!" Hoops yells. Kec transforms into the dark type as he spins and uses his tail to strike Piku-chan under his punch. Unfortunately Piku-chan is covered in lightning, so he gets electrocuted.
Kec backs up, trying to get some distance. <I can't land any hits unless we can get rid of that thunder armour.>
Hoops nods. "Then let's get rid of it. We need to find a way to ground Piku-chan and let the electricity out of him."
<Isn't he already grounded?>
Hoops shakes their head. "He's a Pikachu, his whole biology is about storing electricity in his body. We need a stronger conductor than his skin, and I have just the idea. Use Iron Tail!"
Kec transforms himself, his skin taking on a silvery colour, as his tail glows and he charges towards Piku-chan.
Veilstone City
Hoops lies on the pavement, utterly exhausted. "How, in the name of our Lord Arceus and the sinful Giratina of the Distortion World, did he manage to make us shop for three days."
Kec lies next to them, equally tired. <That wasn't even the worst part. You saw that poster, they're making another Kecleonman movie. Why do they do this to me?>
Hoops pats their partner on the head. "It's okay. We can pretend that it doesn't exist."
At that moment, Xaster approaches the duo, carrying a dozen shopping bags. "I think that's everything we need. You guys want to head back to the hotel and put this with the rest."
Hoops dives forwards and grabs Xaster by the front of his shirt. "Yes, please, yes, as long as we're done."
Xaster smiles. "I know you're tired, sweetie. Shall we stop and get something to eat on the way?"
Hoops is practically in tears when they say "Yes."
They stop at a small diner, where Hoops and Kec waste no time ordering enough food to feed them both several times over. Xaster has only a drink, claiming to be on a diet.
As they eat, he pulls the egg out of his bag and stares at it. Usually the eggs in his possession show some sign of hatching by now, but this one shows no sign of being anywhere close to hatching. To tell the truth, he's beginning to worry that there's something wrong with it.
Sighing, he puts on hand on top of the egg to put it away, and his eyes close for a second. In that instant, he feels a clear sensation like something in calling him towards somewhere, but the next moment it is gone. He looks around, confused.
"What?" Hoops asks through a mountain of meat.
Xaster stands up suddenly. "I'm going to the Veilstone Gym."

Molybdenum: ~When my creator died, that—Templar that cut your throat out raised me! Look at her! Look at Neo!~

Oreburgh City
Maxime, with Beepo and "Puffy" in their pokeballs, and with Kliff to his side, has emerged from the Oreburgh Gate. He walked up to the Oreburgh Gym, but noticed it was closed.
Huh, seems like someone is currently challenging the gym.
<Seems like it.?
Gym battles don't last too long, though. There is something I think I should set up before we challenge the gym, though. I've heard of a chatroom of sorts called Hasslemon, it doesn't look too difficult to start up, and I can install it on my phone.
<I really don't want to see what that blue bother has to say from their ball.>
That's a bit of a risk, but I can only really understand you, and I think this would be an easy way for me to better understand my teammates.
Kliff sighed somewhat, ultimately not objecting to installing Hasslemon. Just as Maxime said, it wasn't too hard to setup, besides getting Beepo to get a handle that didn't contain a swear or racial slur of some kind. Kliff returned to his ball to test start the program.
IW: Opened this memo for the team! Figured it would be easier to communicate this way.
MP: I thought you knew monese, you seemed to understand what the clefable said.
KC: Not really, he just figured out general meanings for what I say. We lived together for a long time.
BB: get a room you two
KC: I won't dignify that with a response.
IW: Oh, Puffy, I think I forgot to introduce you to Kliff. Well, the Clefable is named Kliff. I don't actually know monese, I just kind of figure out what Kliff says from context.
MP: In that case, I'll reintroduce myself - my name's Magnus! I'll still go by the alias "Puffy" if you want though.
IW: Oh, sorry about misnaming you.
BB: lmao
IW: I see why Kliff doesn't like you that much. I hope to get to actually know you all better.
IW: Well, you guys ready to challenge Roark?
KC: I'm ready for anything.
MP: I'm ready to show my power!
BB: yes

Celeste permits it, though Molly gets the distinct impression she's being carefully watched. Which is weird, because Celeste's eyes close while this is going on.
Celestescape
The bugs certainly do go unnoticed- at least by the little Vulpixes that trot amongst the shelves with feather dusters. They seem more intent on defeating dust than anything living.
What is unearthed is mostly uninteresting, at least in regards to what Molly's looking for. Best places to nap, the logistics of moving house so no one can track you down, the mate she sired Rowan with... Who's Rowan, anyway?
Eventually the bugs come across... Something. Shifting your head back and forth changes what you're looking at. From one angle, a long haired woman wearing a ruqun. From the other, just a Ninetales. It's hard to look at her for too long, like wearing glasses that are the wrong prescription.
"Oh, what a tasty little morsel.>

Adelinde: Thank you for showing up. How are you?

-Lotophage is trundling around her feet, and she looks slightly on edge-
-maybe just a natural instinct towards alertness-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
Person, or Idea?
Mitchell watches the argument between the Oshawott and his Samurott parent, growing increasingly confused and afraid. It is only after Emcee provides the translation of this argument that he truly understands the gravity of the situation. These Pokemon, natives of a world that he never knew, were enacting something that he thought only humans could do: acts of evil.
"This can't be," Mitchell mutters, still disbelieving. "Pokemon shouldn't be this way. They can't!"
The Chingling, still tucked within Mitchell's jacket, trembles at the menacing charisma projected by the two Samurott.
Gav is incensed that the male Samurott ignored him to lambast his child, but he holds his tongue.
And then, it happened. The Oshawott was cut by his own father's seamitar.
Something snaps within Mitchell's mind. He runs to where the Oshawott fell, where D'Autry is trying to comfort him, and stands between the Oshawott and the Samurott. He spreads his arms wide and locks eyes with the Samurott. "No more," he snarls. "You try harming your son again, you're going through me."
Gav, however, is laughing. It is a hollow, bitter laugh. <I see,>, he declares, as he slowly approaches the Samurott, <that you're the worst kind of scum.> Once he puts himself between Mitchell and the Samurott, he locks eyes and makes his declaration.
<So what if your kid likes heroes? So what if he hates villainy? You're his dad. It's your job to teach him the proper path, and it's your duty to love him unconditionally. But you didn't, did you? You banished him to another world, and just now, you hurt him, your very own flesh and blood.> Tensing his body into a fighting stance, Gav adds one last denouncement. <All of us, Boss and I especially, won't lose to a punk like you!>
